That makes an interesting building that would add a lot of character to a town. Could/would you please show us the part not installed, the cuts.

If this building had the glass on every wall I could see using the design as a church. Too bad there is not a wide double door but the barn door would still work and looks good in your building.

Oh if Geobra never gave up on stecks, there are so many possibilities if they made more new parts. A nice 3 wall wide roof and.............

Thx !

No it´s not glued it holds perfect in place.

This is very ingenious, and done with master craftman's hands (and Proxxon tools!).  Bravo René!

Love it, love it, love it!  What a wonderful job you did.  I know that cutting those angles is difficult and they fit perfectly!  Very well done indeed!   ;)
